If you want to set permissions for subdirectories e.g restrict public access to \/home\/folder1\/ but allow access to \/home\/folder1\/folder2 then this is one way of doing it:<\/p>\n

NOTE: I’m using VestaCP, an open source control panel for web hosting so these steps may not work for you<\/em><\/p>\n

Copy and the default.stpl and default.tpl files in\u00a0\/usr\/local\/vesta\/data\/templates\/web\/httpd\/ e.g default-modified.stpl\u00a0\u00a0(I decided to do this since the https.conf file gets rewritten every time I modify the website config via the VestaCP dashboard)<\/p>\n

Edit the copied files and add the following:<\/p>\n

<Directory %docroot%\/home\/folder1>\r\nOrder deny,allow\r\ndeny from all\r\nallow from x.x.x.x\r\n<\/Directory>\r\n\r\n<Directory %docroot%\/home\/folder1\/folder2\/>\r\nAllow from all\r\n<\/Directory><\/pre>\n
Restart the httpd service using<\/p>\n
service httpd restart<\/pre>\n
Test by accessing the two folders using a public IP address (e.g from your mobile phone) and the other from the static IP address x.x.x.x<\/p>\n
